Schlosser Development

 Schlosser Development needed a new interior sign for their office. I took their logo and created this design which was approved and created to match the illustration below.

Vinn Gallery

 When the Gaudalupe Arts Center was transitioning into the Vin Gallery I had the pleasure of designing their new custom signage plan. After the design had been approved, the clients had to move to a new location unexpectedly.  The Vinn Gallery sign went on to be fabricated and installed at the new location.

Rock-n-Roll Rentals

 I was asked to design a new custom sign for Rock-n-Roll Rentals on S. Lamar here in Austin Texas. These 3D composite images were used to gain approval of the design from the clients.  


3110 Guadalupe Development

 When I was called upon to design a pole sign for a new development on Guadalupe Street in the heart of the UT campus area, I had a completely blank slate to work with. The building had not even been built yet and no design direction was given. I imagined and illustrated the pole sign below and the developers approved it instantly. I then created the production files to hand off to the sign shop the design became the basis for the look of the entire project. 


After the concept for the pole sign was approved, the design was carried through the rest of the exterior design and signage systems for the development. 

This is the finished pole sign after it's installation at 3110 Gaudalupe Street, Austin TX.

Zen Zone

 I created a unique branding identification system for the local company Zen Zone that I carried through all aspects of project from the logo design to signage systems and print advertising.


The Finished job included several signs, including the two below.


Data Foundry

 Texas Net became Data Foundry and I was happy to reflect that by designing new signage to go along with their new identity. The clients approved the first round of concepts resulting in the creation of two more custom signs in Austin.
 
This is the unedited before shot of the first Data Foundry location sight survey.

The sign for the first Data Foundry location was designed as a 3D model and composited with the edited sight photos to create these two renderings showing the reverse channel neon sign during the day and during the night. The client approved the job based on these images, at which time I created all of the vector files necessary for it's production. The final sign was fabricated and installed to match these images perfectly. 


 This is the before shot from the initial site survey of Data Foundry's second location. Just as with the first location, this existing sign also had to be replaced with a 3D model of the proposed new sign design for presentation and approval from the client.

The sign for the second location was also created in 3D and composited with the edited site photos to illustrate what the finished installation would look like during the day and night.
